Today, we celebrate ...
Today, we celebrate the life of St. Viator and the group of faithful followers who have been inspired by this simple story. We are very blessed to have the chance to learn from this special group of priests and brothers, and to follow their path of observing the Catholic faith and love of education.
In 1830, Father Louis Querbes, from the Diocese of Lyons, chose Viator as the patron saint of a parish that would focus on teaching youth and serving the Christian Faith. This group was named The Clerics of St. Viator, now known as the Viatorians. The Viatorians have always been involved with teaching and education. Over 55 years ago, while Las Vegas was still a growing town, the Catholic community asked if the Viatorians would send people to our town to help teach our Catholic youth. For many years the Viatorians were the main teachers at Bishop Gorman High School as well as St. Viator Parish school.
~ Mrs. Tracy Brunelle, Principal
It’s official! The founder of the Clerics of St. Viator is now the Venerable Louis Querbes:
For the Beatification of Fr. Louis Querbes
Heavenly and gracious Father,
Be forever blest for your gift in Fr. Louis Querbes,
A dedicated Pastor committed to education of faith.
and in the service of sacred liturgy,
and Founder of the Viatorian Community.
Grant, we pray, that you number Fr. Louis Querbes
among the saints in your heavenly kingdom.
We also pray that in your infinite goodness
and through his intercession
We be granted the following (…)
We pray in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

The Great Shake Out
When the ground starts shaking and the room starts to rumble, what do you do? The Great Shakeout is here to teach and protect us. On October 17, 2019 St. Viator participated in the worldwide Great Shakeout at 10:17 a.m.
The Great Shakeout is a drill that helps people all over the world be prepared for an earthquake. Earthquakes are the most difficult natural disasters to predict, so drills make it possible to prepare and be safe in the event of an earthquake.
WCEA Accreditation Update
We are currently on schedule. We are making suggested changes of our Superintendent of Catholic Schools to our Self-Study document. Please continue to hold our school community in your prayers as we undergo this important process for our school improvement.
Our Students are Life-Long Learners!
In each classroom, we have a posted set of School-wide Learning Expectations (SLEs). SLEs are defined as what a student should know, understand and be able to do by graduation. These learning expectations have been collaboratively developed by our Students, Parents, Teachers, Staff and School Board, reflecting the School Policy and Mission Statement of St. Viator Parish School.
Through our School-wide Learning Expectations our goal is to develop active faith-filled Catholics who are life-long achievers, effective communicators, responsible decision makers, and culturally aware/global citizens.
Even after school, our students demonstrate that love to learn while participating in STEM activities. 4th Grade Girl Scout Troop 117 is learning a lot so far this year as well as having tons of fun! One of the badges they have earned is the Think Like An Engineer Badge. They have already had a couple of guest speakers and field trips. Good job!
